Former Army brat Morgan Albright has finally planted roots in a friendly neighborhood near Baltimore. Her friend and roommate Nina helps her make the mortgage payments, as does Morgan's job as a bartender. But after she and Nina host their first dinner party—attended by Luke, the flirtatious IT guy who'd been chatting her up at the bar—her carefully built world is shattered. The back door glass is broken, cash and jewelry are missing, her car is gone, and Nina lies dead on the floor.
Soon, a horrific truth emerges: It was Morgan who let the monster in. "Luke” is actually a cold-hearted con artist named Gavin who targets a particular type of woman, steals her assets and identity, and then commits his ultimate goal: murder.
What the FBI tells Morgan is beyond chilling. Nina wasn't his type. Morgan is. Nina was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. And Morgan's nightmare is just beginning. Soon she has no choice but to flee to her mother's home in Vermont. While she struggles to build something new, she meets another man, Miles Jameson. He isn't flashy or flirtatious, and his family business has deep roots in town. But Gavin is still out there hunting new victims, and he hasn't forgotten the one who got away.
In Identity, Morgan is on track to be able to open her own bar. She works hard and long hours to achieve her dream. She also really likes her roommate. One night, her roommate is murdered and the FBI say it was supposed to be Morgan. With nowhere to run, she must return to her hometown and start over.
After not really loving this author's last 2 stand alone books, I was skeptical about this one. I am so happy to say that I really enjoyed this one. I loved the romance part. Morgan and Miles were so good together. I loved how his family embraced Morgan right from the beginning. I also loved the how Morgan, her mother and grandmother healed their relationship. The suspense part was fairly straight forward, but added a lot of enjoyment to the book...especially the ending. I feel like the author I love is back and I can't wait for her next one.
